Re: My Centipede volume is Buzzing/Humming



I had a Crystal Castles machine which had this. It turned out the be the
OpAmp chip on the PCB that was getting bad (believe it was the LM324 chip on
the sound output stages circuitry). It was causing a low pitched hum sound.
Not sure if this will help you perhaps.

Good luck.
